Subsequently he removed to New York, and became eminent as a physician and a medical writer. -A Trench paper says "the Prussians are wonderfully well informed of everything that goes on, even to the- smallest details. Some days ago a regiment of Uhlans entered a vil? lage through which the French army had passed four-and-twenty hours before. The French had with great difficulty obtained 3000 rations from the country people, the Frussians required.25,000; they were told that lt was Im? possible to comply with this demand, and that by completely despoiling the Inhabitants lt would be impossible to collect more thau a quarter ol what was claimed. The comman? dant pulled some notes out of his pocket and looked through them. "Where Is Schultz ?" said he. "Here am I. commandant," replied an honest fellow, reddening with pride at finding himself known to so powerful a person. "You have three cows, a hundred hens. I know where you have hidden your oats; you with? drew your flour yesterday. Be so good as to fetch all that, and be quick about it." Thus the commandant called all the inhabitants one after the other, and proved to them that he waa as well acquainted as themselves with their resources. It ls needless to add that the 25,000 rations were made up in an hour's time. The Prussians act in this manner every? where, thanks to the skill and number of their spies; and this explains how such great num? bers always seem well provided with food. The Condition? of Peace. It is evident enough that the French Be public, at this time, has no offensive strength, 'whatever its powers of passive resistance. The ministers are men of little note, who do not enjoy the full confidence of the people; and, were it possible for every Frenchman who can carry a musket, or wield a sabre, to be put io the field, what would be the value of masses of brave but undisciplined men, when opposed to the perfectly organized, perfectly equipped and equally valiant sol? diers of the victorious German army ? The neutral powers are not disposed to interfere, however they may dread tbe immense power of a united Germany. France is almost without hope, and King William has the power to make peace, and upon his own conditions. The great question, therefore, is, What will Germany be willing to accept ? Fight? ing to preserve herself from foreign inter? ference, Germany will naturally require that France shall be so fettered as to be incapa? ble of harming her neighbors until the vast work of German unification ?3 complete, and consolidated by lapse of time. But, it is rumored, that Germany insists upon the an? nexation of Alsace and Lorraine, as well a3 a pecuniary indemnity for the cost of tho war. The repayment of Uie cost of the war Germany may properly require; it is ques? tionable, however, whether it would not be , wiser to refrain from exacting, in addition, the surrender of Alsace and Lorraine.. Count Bismarck appears to be disposed to waive the question of annexation, and, if correctly reported by the New York Tribune, would only require, as the main condition of peace, that Metz- and Strasbourg be retain? ed by Germany, as a protection against any later attempts by France to reopen the momentous questions, which were decided upon the fields of Woerth and Gravelotte, and under the ramparts of Sedan. This proposition is moderate enough, upon the assumption that Frunce is at the mercy of tier conqueror, and if,*to the cession of Metz md Strasbourg, were added a limitation of the French fleet anti arm}% under the sane Lion of the neutral powers, Germany would snjoy, not all that she can extct from ?ter prostrate foe, but all that it may be wise Tor her to claim or accept. Germany can low afford to be generous. Standing at the aead of the powers of Europe, with a happy and united people, she may well refrain from pressing her ancient enemy to the wall, and from exacting the bloody debt to the very last farthing. And we firmly believe that if Germany conclude peace without territorial aggrandizement, but with a payment of her war debt and a limitation of the military strength of France, she would gain far more io moral force, at home and abroad, than jlie would lose by the* refuaal to absorb the )ld provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. This, we hope, will be the opinion of the great neu who direct the polity of Germany. Current Literature. TEXEL; OR, CORA GLENCOE, a Novel. By Bra ?anza. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippiucott & o. 1870. The author of Tekel does not exactly tilt at a moral windmill, although os much, and as vainly, in earnest a3 the crack-brained Knight of La Mancha. "?here ?s strong feel? ing, in every chapter of the book, but the author does not appreciate the difference be? tween force 'and coarseness, nor between modest simplicity and broad indecency. Nothing leas than an infinite vanity, or a blind belief that thc world may be reformed by. patch-work prose, would, under ordinary, circumstances, account .for the writing of 3tich a book as Tekel. But we are willing to believe that Braganza, absorbed in the con? templation of a personal wrong, has forgot? ten that some maturity of thought, some general information, and some knowledge of men and uianners, ure needed for the writ? ing of eveu the worst novel of the season. Whether Tekel may properly claim this bad pre-eminence, and whether it will "save a "single pure womat), or innocent virgin from "the Spoiler," we do not pretend to say. In Tekel there are iacideirts enough and charactets enough, but there is nothing which can be diguified by the name of a plot. A case of mistaken identity, an Indian fight, u horrid outrage or two, a fatal duel, an elopement, and a railway accident, well jumbled together, form the ground-work of the story. And of the characters, it must caudidly be said that there is not one which is natural, or approximately natural, in con? ception or treatment. An attempt is made to give them individuality, but, however different in other respects, they are alike in their enjoyment of a pound of absurdity or vulgarity, for every grain of ingenuousness or common sense. One of the favorite characters is Captain Gale, "nautically, ouly a skipper," who anchors his bark in "self-adjusting waters," and, aa becomes an honest mariner of the "shiver-ray-timbers" school, enjoys a wife who has "an insinuating sunrise on her "face." Among other periU of the sea, Captain Gale speaks of "a iurious collision, "fore and aft, weather and lee." A mariner1 who conld stand thia,' might well look two ways for Sunday. The son of Captain Gale, "a young elephant," who Is, (p. 461,) "as "fine a. pyramid of flesh, good humor and "good sense as ever took the vows," mar -ries Linda Beyd,--*-youngwidowrwho8e ?ret husband, an old millionaire, was killed in a .railroad -accident, on the day of his mar? riage. This enables Braganza to remark that the bridegroom, "without more ado, "slept with his father's instead of with his "wife." Another curiosity is Oswald Huron, the supposed father, and real uncle, of Cora Glencoe. Oswald, (p. 45,) has "a strange "volcanic soul," and it is not surprising that (p. 395) "the evil spirit that was in "him seemed to reud bim, and, with a frantic "cry, he rushed forward and spraug wildly "over the precipice, and was dashed to "pieces." Cora Glencoe, the heroine, must, also, like her uncle, have "a strange vol "canic soul," for we aro delicately informed that she would ' give (p. 139) her very "dog those tender, fiery and priceless bosom "caresses which otherwise must waste upon "the air." And, in the crisis of her destiny, Cora, "like some tempestuous, tameless "thing, uttered a genuine war cry, (?) "stamped vehemontly upon the floor, and "fled away." The old minister "was be? wildered," as well be might be. The hero of the boot is Carsell Rapid, a man of "matchless symmetry," in the play of whose countenance "there was a feature, "br the absence of a feature, which was, in "all probability, unique." No ordinary per? plexities ruffle him, but the placid beauty of his face (p. 129) was often transformed to "the grim and relentless aspect of an aven "ger." No wonder , that the bare thought of "some one thing" would rouse "a raging "lion, or a Lost Angel (or both ?) within his "breast." We are relieved to hear that he was not "habitually or consecutively unhap "py," although "memory (p. 129) swept "through his soul, scorching its way like a "flame of exquisite ills." This young Belvi? dere, (he, also, is of volcanic origin,) is a perfect rider, a perfect shot, a perfect gen? tleman-according to Braganza's standard, toujours entendu. He proves his versatility by superintending the wardrobe of the fair young Linda. In her company he visits a fashionable modiste, rips the binding of "the "last new dress" about to be sent home, and "poiuting to the stain of perspiration under "the arm-pits," haughtily says, "this dress. "ha3 been woru." Rapid then convicts the guilty modiste of offering a dress, "the fea? tures of which are twelve inonth3 old," and repairs to "a more honest establishment." Linda is subjugated, in a platonic way, and inst?is Rapid as director in chief, who "soon could Hood her heart with joy," per? haps, by the purchase of (p. 126) "a pair of "elegant equine antelopes," which mast be something stunuing. Later in the day Rapid becomes the guardian of Cora Glen? coe, whom, also, he conroys to a modiste, who declares that Cora is "a young Venus." Rapid "had not doubted the. young girl's "symmetry;" but it was pleasure to him (p. 274) to have it confirmed and whispered in his ear by "this female latitudinarian, who "was just from manipulating Cora's virgin "form." Later in the story. Rapid dis? patches "A Spoiler" with three strokes of the dagger, and would have treated Spoiler No. 2 in the same style had not Judge Lynch saved him the trouble. Rapid chaffs the police, wrestles with his private detective, slangs men and womim remorselessly, and is, all in all, the mo3t stupendous prig it has been our ill-luck to encounter. The coarse vulgarity of many passages will not bear repeating. What is to be thought of the announcement that a certain "amiable, lovely and precious girl," will not be be ready for a year or more (p. 14")) "to submit herself to the manipulations of "matrimony?" Blasphemy, or the sem? blance of it, is too frequent. Of the "inci "dent in Scripture," where Christ casts out devils and permits them to enter into a herd of swjue, oue of the chier characters, .says, (p. 284,) "it was fun for the devils, but pret "ty rough cn the swine," or it might have been "a very bad breed of hogs." This, and the connection of Mary's "little Iamb," of the nursery rhyme, with "the Lamb of God," will serve as specimens. Mixed metaphors and grammatical blunders are counted by the hundred. What is "an irenic .' or "an "inveterate F What sort of thing is . "a "mingled icy and fiery flame ?" What is "an inimical."" What is (p. 341) "delicate "and enthused wine," and what is "the key "to the entire ?'' But, a3 we have already said, the book has a solemn purpose, which is to cause every State to punish, with death, the crime of which Tarquin wa3 guilty. This is a sub? ject we do not care to discuss; norjvill "the "cause" gaiu any strength by the publica? tion in its behaWof a novel which is always crudp, and, very often, disgusting.
